Frustration

I need hands-on help. I am so disappointed that we didn't have the first two sessions last weekend so that we could get our bearings better. In addition, I have had a hard week emotionally. To be honest, I have been more concerned about the life of one of my students who was in a bad accident than I have about the class. As a parent whose teenaged son died, I am extremely sensitive to these things, and memories come blasting to the surface that I try to hold in check most of the time. The good news is that the girl will survive, but her injuries are extensive. Today my husband and I traveled to Toledo (about an ninety minutes from here) to visit her. She won't return to school for quite a while.

When I returned home, I once again checked my e-mails from Central, which I have done throughout the week, to find that we have a major assignment for next Friday. I am still trying to register for everything. I really don't mean to complain, but I am also looking for guidance from people who are more familiar with the Internet world than I am. I also know that many of us are holding down full-time jobs and have other responsibilities. I can't speak for others, but as an English teacher who also is responsible for the yearbook, I have oodles of papers almost every night. This week is also Parent-Teacher conferences, which ends up being even more work. If we had had class last weekend, I think that I would be in better shape as far as knowing what to do!

Thanks for listening to anyone out there who sees this! I am looking forward to seeing you next weekend.
